The Institute of Policy Analysis and Research (IPAR-Rwanda) is currently implementing the study on Understanding and supporting sustained pathways out of extreme poverty and deprivation. This Research project is being implemented by The Chronic Poverty Advisory Network (CPAN) at Overseas Development Initiative (ODI) in partnership with three East African research bodies, the Institute of Policy Analysis and Research (IPAR-Rwanda) is one of them for the case of Rwanda.
